Similar to "submarining", Drone Striking is when you completely cut off all communication with a ting/boo/bae and then dramatically re-appear into their life. Typically, a Drone Strike takes place when the relationship and/or breakup was shocking and nobody thought you would reappear into each others' lives.
"OMG you'll never guess who just slid into my DM's and said he's in town."
"Wowwww he had the nerve to resurface like that!? That's hella drone striking territory."
"Should I drone strike bae from 6 years ago and see how he's doing?"
"Go for it girl. Hit him with the feels."

The means by which human resources "professionals" anonymously and surgically eliminate candidates from the recruiting process, often while sipping soy lattes and watching BDSM porn in the comfort of their well-appointed offices.
The acronym "ATS" refers, of course, to the multitude of automated "applicant tracking systems" used by many employers to dehumanize the recruiting process and subject applicants to cruel and unusual forms of torture, including having to re-enter their entire resumes in tiny little fields after having uploaded a perfectly acceptable resume document.
